Strategic Marine delivers first purpose-built CTV for Polish offshore wind market

Strategic Marine has announced the successful delivery of a StratCat 27 Crew Transfer Vessel (CTV) to offshore wind developer ORLEN to operate in Poland’s growing offshore wind sector.

Strategic Marine says that the vessel is designed specifically for offshore wind farm operations. The StratCat 27 is scheduled to begin operations in the North Sea before transitioning to the Polish exclusive economic zone in the Baltic Sea.

The StratCat 27 is equipped with “advanced technologies to meet the demanding conditions of offshore wind farms,” according to Strategic Marine. The vessel is said to meet Tier III emission requirements and is hybrid-ready, allowing for future adaptation to alternative energy sources.

Strategic Marine says that the vessel’s reinforced hull plating makes it capable of withstanding the harsh conditions of the Baltic Sea, ensuring safe and reliable transport of technicians and supplies over long distances.

The StratCat 27 can accommodate up to nine crew members and 24 passengers, “ensuring optimal comfort and safety during technician transfers,” says Strategic Marine.
